Now The Great Beast Roars.
2002-04-17 : 10:35 p.m. I wrote this for Humanities. It's in response to W.B. Yeats The Second Coming. What do you think? Things are apart: the center has given way The falcon now hunts at will
Now the forces of chaos have become indistinguishable Men are machines and machines are men A red fire replaces the once blue calm The crimson tide engulfs all The time is now The second coming is now!
Sacrifices and sacrifices! The right cause: Justified with vicious means Life has no value Be it God or Allah Who do you die for? Sacred lands become battlefields anew Jerusalem cries out for its savior Barrels role to Bethlehem: a new-born child cries Into the cosmos the beast then strides One last roar vanquishes the chaos and Unnatural calm returns Out of the great empyrean a new shape is beheld Alas! Be this our reward? A water bearer comes to cool our melted world Those who preach believe our thirsts to be quenched Yet, What cost must we pay to drink?
